Applying to College/Post-Secondaries

  • Read over the school’s admissions website.  You can apply directly from their website using their application.  Or, you can complete the Common App if you will be applying to many schools. 
  • Find out what tests the school requires from their admission’s page, if any.  Most schools have become, and some remain test optional for Fall 2021 applicants.  You will find that information on the admissions page.
  • Sign up for the SATs or ACTs if you haven’t already taken them or want to improve your scores.
  • Sign up for the TEAS if your nursing/medical school requires the score.
  • Make sure you are aware of the application deadlines listed on the admission’s page!
  • Begin thinking about who you would like to write a recommendation letter for you. Usually a teacher, a school counselor, and/or someone outside of academics (ex: coach, mentor, pastor, boss, volunteer advisor, etc.)
  • Talk to your sending school guidance office to see if those schools will be coming for an instant decision day or if they offer application fee waivers!
  • Request your transcript with your sending school counselor. Click here for their email.
  • Let your sending school counselor know where you have applied!
